Thanks for the comments Juan. See you in JUly :-)
FOLO: check out the archives link on BWD under Port Alberni Harbour Quay. Info there back to 2010. Pretty regular summer thermals

I think it's comparable if you look back at what that waterfront used to be. Before and during WW2 Spanish Banks was a military base ( RCAF station ), not a public beach. I think there were 4 or 5 seaplane hangars near the shore.
In the early 70's the base was shrunk with the northern part becoming Jericho Park, and the southern half remaining as Jericho Garrison.
